Neun Facing Tough Job In Initial Year New York. April 8. (UP) Not: only is Johnny Neun starting hi*j first xcaxoii a* a major league manager this spring. but ho also I getting his first look at the Na ■ tlon il league. Ah a result. not too much is ex-| pectod of Noun ami hl* Cincinnati! Reds this year It's a k<mi<l thing, too. for the Red* have a definite! second division look and there are! a lot of baseball men who fee! that I Noun will be lucky if he doesn’t; finish in the cells. •. Neun is changing the scheme of| things as Cincinnati came to know; them in a baseball way during the long tenure of lie icon Hill Me -I Kechnle !jh is switching over to the American league style of play sacrificing fielding finesse for bat ting power. The acceijt, so long a- Neun di- j reds the Reds, will be on offense. The only trouble Is that he hasn't 1 been able to find the necessary; power hitters to make his system work, but he Is determined to go along with what he has and make the best of things He Isn’t worried about his pitch Ing and catching. He also Is satisfied with his third baseman and left fielder. Hut outside of that he still isn't too stire of what he has i for the other positions. The pitching prospects have tak ! en on a rosy glow with indications i that Elmer Riddle may have over come his arm ailment and will be ready to take his regular turn to back tip Ewell Blackwt’l. Bucky Walters. Johnny Vander Meer. Joe Reggs and Harry Humbert. Behind them Neun has three good looking rookies Kent Peter-! son, a left hander who won 851 games, including eight no-hitters.; during his war service; Ed Erautt.l a right hander, who won 20 games; for Portland in the Pacific Coast league and Everett Lively, who, has been In service since 1943 ; Neun is figuring on giving all of them starting chances. John Hetkl, flay Lambert, the! aging Clyde Hhoun and Hob Malloy ! are other hurling candidates. Al! ■ of them were with the club last; season. To catch them. Neun has as good; an all around receiving staff as' “-—-——-I jFWTcnWytrl 4) o — Last Time Tonight — WALLACE BEERY MIGHTY McOURK" Dean Stockwall, Edw. Arnold ALSO—Shorts 9c-40c Inc. Tax WEI). & THURS.

I there Is to be found with Ray Umanno and Ray Mueller doing the hulk of the work and Al Lakemull In reserve. The Reds have been trying to peddle Lakeman for a right h.tided hitting outfielder without success. Angle Galan, the old pro from Brooklyn, i- the only outfielder • ure of a regular job although ! Prank Baumholtz, who hit .343 ' with Columbia. S. C. appears a | sure bet to open the season in center. Either Vollmer, who hit 275 with Rochester. or Ed I.ukon ; probably will be in right with Hob ) Usher in the running. Grady Hatton, who promise* to become one of the beat in the | buslne-g. and Hobby Adams are the only infield rs sure to start the season Hatton, one of the leading rookie* of last season, will ; be ut thir l while Adams has ousted the veteran Ixmnle Frey at second. First base is going to be a probt lent Neun is not very high on Bert Huas, who held down the post ; last year, and has been giving two rookies. Charles Kress and Ted Kiuszewski. every chance to make I good. Kress, who hit only .261 for Syracuse last season, is the better (i. lder, hut Kiuszewski,. the for ! mer Indiana football star, may ■ develop into quite a hitter. He ! batted .352 for Columbia, S. C., . last year and Neun. who was a pretty fancy fielding first baseman in his day. has been giving the rookie special fielding drills. Hut Kiuszewski still Is awkward around the sack and it's a toss up which of the two newcomers will draw the opening day assignment. Shortstop also Is a problem. Even if Eddie Miller is successful I in his comeback, he probably will lie traded for if he isn't in the ' doghouse, he at least has one foot in It and probably has played his lari game with the Reds. That leaves Benny Zientara. the Reds' leading hitter last year with an average of .289 and two rookies, Kermit Wahl and Tohi Stallcup. | to battle It out for the post. Al- ; though he has been bothered with ! a sore arm. Zientara probably will get the job with Wahl hanging on as a utility man. Stallcup is all right In the field, but has looked | bad at the plate. 0 Sheriff Os Marion County Faces Suit I» — Indianapolis, Vpril 8 —(UP)— Marion county sheriff Albert C.

MARSHALL BREAKS (Continued From Figo One) true. I don't think It is a very fair way to treat us." Marshall supported Bavin's view end recalled that, yesterday he had suggested giving the coordinating committee more time to report and to go ahead with other agenda points which were agreed upon in New York last December. "As far as the United States delegation is concerned." Marshall said, "it is most important to go on with the council of foreign ministers agenda and not go on with thia interminable discussion of disagreement. « “Let us pass over disagreements. and after we have gone through the agenda return to them if time permits. "If there is general discussion of ail points of the agenda it will clarify the issues and be a real contribution to the work of the deputies and to the future meetings of the council of foreign ministers. "And if we are to continue to engage In interminable discussions of disagreements. I doubt if this conference achieves anything." Marshall then formally proposed that some future date be set for receiving ’he coordinating committee's report and that the ministers move ahead tomorrow to the next section of the agenda. Molotov, reversing himself, said he also was opposed to endless discussion. and agreed to Marshall's suggestion.
